No he didn't, procfs was already in hurdextras.

Well, you get facts this time since there were several patched
translators, and several should go into the archive soon (trivruby,
pytrivfs, and perhaps the bpf translator).

I'll try to maintain most translators (i.e., make sure they work when
Hurd interfaces get changed / once every few months), but I can't say
I'll add new feature to every of them. I have plans to work on gopherfs
(make it work without crashing GNU Mach ;-), xmlfs (add write support -
I wrote that one) and procfs.

It'll be a real momentum if you guys start testing these translators and
sending (even small) patches - I'll make sure they're committed in a
timely fashion.

Thanks for your concern,
